By DAVE CAMPBELL Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — Nneka Ogwumike’s short jumper with 3.1 seconds left gave the Los Angeles Sparks a 77-76 victory over the defending champion Minnesota Lynx for their irst title in 14 years in Game 5 the deciding game of the WNBA Finals on Los Angeles Thursday night. T h e league MVP joined her Minnesota teammates in celebration as a stunned crowd slowly iled out after inishing with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Candace Parker had 28 points and 12 rebounds to earn MVP honors of the Finals. It was Parker’s irst WNBA title. “She’s been through so much,” Ogwumike said of Parker. “She’s probably the most misunderstood person in the league. I told her I wanted her to get one. She had an awesome game tonight. She’s been our leader.” Parker said she listened to one of Pat Summitt’s speeches 77 76 AP Photo/Jim Mone before the game and that moti- vated her. Her former coach at Tennessee died in late June. “She would have been proud of our rebounding. It came down to rebounding and defense,” Parker said. “I could hear her voice telling me to keep going. She was deinitely present tonight.” Rebekkah Brunson made one of two free throws with 23 seconds left to give the Lynx a 74-73 lead. Parker answered with a layup on the other end that Maya Moore countered with a jumper with 15 seconds remaining. Ogwumike’s irst try for the win was off the mark, but she worked her way over to the loose ball for another attempt that she coolly swished. Lindsay Whalen’s inal shot from just inside halfcourt wasn’t close, setting off Los Angeles’ celebration as Parker and Sparks owner Magic Johnson embraced in a long hug. Johnson spoke to the team after the loss at home in Game 4 on Sunday. His presence in Minnesota was all the more impressive considering the Dodgers, the other pro club he’s invested in, were playing baseball in Los Angeles at the same time in Game 5 of their National League championship series. “I told them the series wasn’t over and that there was still a Game 5 to be played. They had to believe they could do it on a tough home court. This team Minnesota is tremendous,” Johnson said. “We just beat the champions so I give them a lot of credit to. Our leaders led us and we had a great coach in Brian and they believed all season long. I told them this was their year. I wanted them to do it for Candace Parker. She deserves to be a champion. Great group of ladies.” Moore had 23 points and 11 assists for the Lynx, who fell short of matching the WNBA record of four championships. The Houston Comets won four straight titles from 1997-2000. The Lynx played in the inals for the ifth time in the last six years. They won three. By GENARO C. ARMAS Associated Press GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers set a record. The Chicago Bears lost another quarterback. After a slow start in the red zone, the Green Bay Packers picked up the pace in the second half to overpower their offensively-challenged NFC North rivals. Rodgers threw for 326 yards and three touch- downs, Davante Adams and Ty Montgomery emerged as playmakers in the second half and Packers beat the Bears 26-10 on Thursday night. Rodgers was 39 of 56, setting Chicago a franchise mark for completions in a game. It was the Packers’ irst contest without injured running back Eddie Lacy . “A lot of moving parts, a very satisfying victory at home,” coach Green Bay Mike McCarthy said. The Packers (4-2) moved effectively on short gains most of the night, but couldn’t break into the end zone until Adams caught the irst of his two touchdown receptions with 9:11 left in the third quarter for a 13-10 lead. Rodgers and Adams combined again for a 4-yard score on the irst play of fourth quarter for a 10-point lead. The Bears (1-6) lost quarterback Brian Hoyer to a broken left arm in the second quarter. With Jay Cutler already out with a right thumb injury, Chicago turned to third-stringer Matt Barkley. An offense that was already 31st in the league in scoring got worse. Barkley was 6 of 15 for 81 yards and two interceptions. 10 26 SCOREBOARD COLLEGE SOFTBALL Local Slate Pilot Rock at Culver Stanield at Heppner Saturday Eastern Oregon vs. Alumni, 10 a.m. PREP FOOTBALL Today Riverside at Nyssa, 6 p.m. Hermiston at Redmond, 7 p.m. Bend at Pendleton, 7 p.m. Mac-Hi at Baker, 7 p.m. Umatilla at Irrigon, 7 p.m. Ione at Dufur, 7 p.m. Cove at Echo, 7 p.m. Stanield at Heppner, 7 p.m. Pilot Rock at Culver, 7 p.m. Arlington vs. Riddle (in Salem), 7 p.m. COLLEGE MEN’S BASKETBALL Saturday Eastern Oregon vs Alumni, 7:30 p.m. COLLEGE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Saturday Eastern Oregon vs. Alumni, 5:30 p.m. Prep Standings PREP VOLLEYBALL Saturday OOL Districts: Echo vs Joseph (at La Grande), 9 a.m. BSL Districts: Ione vs Arlington (at The Dalles), 10 a.m. OOL Districts: Helix vs Powder Valley (at La Grande), 11 a.m. CBC Districts: Heppner vs. Pilot Rock, Noon CBC Districts: Weston-McEwen vs TBD, 2 p.m. CBC Districts: Culver vs. TBD, 4 p.m. PREP BOYS SOCCER Friday Riverside at Irrigon, 3:30 p.m. Saturday Baker at Mac-Hi, 11 a.m. PREP GIRLS SOCCER Saturday Baker at Mac-Hi, 1 p.m. PREP CROSS COUNTRY Today Mac-Hi, Umatilla at Baker Invite, 3 p.m. Heppner, Condon/Wheeler at Mikaela Reser Memorial Invite (Condon), 2 p.m. Stanield, Weston-McEwen, Helix at Helix Stubblebuster Run, 4:15 p.m. COLLEGE FOOTBALL Saturday Montana Western at Eastern Oregon, 1 p.m. COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL Today Eastern Oregon at Multnomah, 5 p.m. Blue Mountain at Treasure Valley, 6 p.m. COLLEGE MEN’S SOCCER Today Eastern Oregon at Corban, 2 p.m. Saturday Eastern Oregon at NW Christian, 7 p.m. COLLEGE WOMEN’S SOCCER Today Eastern Oregon at Corban, Noon Saturday Blue Mountain at Columbia Basin, Noon Eastern Oregon at NW Christian, 5 p.m. Football 5A Special District 1 Conf Ovr PS x-Summit 5-0 6-1 227 Hermiston 4-1 4-3 207 Bend 3-2 5-2 218 Redmond 3-2 3-4 273 Mtn.
